“Some things are so good, sharing it shouldn’t have a price.”

Dear Friend,

Remember that time in your life, before so many responsibilities set in, before the worry about paying bills, before the rat-race of life? Remember that youthful urge to open up and learn, to explore and see new things, to experience more of life… simply for feeling the wonder?

That yearning we all know almost needs no explanation, in fact, it almost defies description. It is the voice, deep inside your heart, that calls you to keep ’experiencing’ more of life. It is the mystery and intrigue to travel, as well as a curiosity that somehow, everything you touch with your hands, or see with your eyes, might not be all that there is. That yearning, that calling, is hopefully the reason you’re reading this.

Many of us believe that in order to follow it, we must first be liberated from the monotony of the daily grind. That somehow we first must achieve freedom in life, before beginning the quest to explore and experience life’s inner secrets. This is simply not true. There is more mystery where you stand right now in front of you, than what most people perceive in their travels through all the world.

Yet why do we delay exploring what is available to us right now? Without the “eyes” to see, the perspective to recognize this depth and mystery, without the ability to sense it, it remains hidden from us. Because it’s so easy to get caught up in life and dismiss the subtle things. The good news is, you already possess the ability to awaken it, you just have to discover how to turn it on.

Higher Balance brings a very clear understanding through methods that create a first-hand personal experience of what this awakening is, and how to deepen into it. And that’s what this free All Day class is all about!

So what exactly are we promising you here?

… Answers that lead to Rapid Breakthroughs

There is an effective method to achieving, what we call, a state of “dimensional consciousness”. A formula you can practice, work with, and perfect. It puts you on the journey back “home”. The place we all spiritually yearn for.

Topics include:

• What does Spirituality really mean? One clean perspective can lead to Awakening!

• Why Meditation? Can it go beyond relaxation?

• A technique will be taught that produces a meditative state in seconds! (this alone is worth it)

• What is Metaphysics? Can better understanding it create experiences?

• Discover a hidden sense we all overlook everyday. It is a 6th Sense.

• How your senses influence meditation, and how much vitality you possess.

• How to “access” a dimensional state of mind that mystics have used to perform miracles for thousands of years.

In this workshop, you WILL experience…

• An unmistakable meditative state of mind, one you will never forget, and always know how to benefit from it at any point in your life.

• How to access it within seconds, no matter where you are, literally

• How to emotionally balance yourself and feel centered

• How to super-charge your brain, get it working optimally again. Why oxygen is the answer.

• How your mind is like a computer, and learning how to “reboot it” can calm anxiety.

• Time permitting, what 2012 is all about. All confusion about it will be removed.

• And much, much more!

All of these things and more have been consolidated into one precision system of techniques and understanding, and we have had incredible success with teaching others how to do it. We will provide ample Q & A time to make sure any questions get answered.

• But most importantly, on the 27th you WILL gain insight and new experiences, get a boost for your current methods, and take easy, simple, how-to steps home with you!

There isn’t a question we cannot answer, no matter what the size, depth, or implication. We will be there to expand your mind. You will be surprised how quickly this all-day workshop will fly-by. After feeling the satisfaction of multiple new realizations, you will wish it was an entire weekend event!

About Higher Balance

Higher Balance Institute (HBI) is the result of over thirty years of Eric Pepin’s (the Founder and Author of The Handbook of the Navigator) painstaking study, research, experience, practice, and refinements to access the highest levels of consciousness. If you want to think about it in broader terms, you could say it is the result of the dedication of countless beings over the millennia that have blazed the trails of human thought. They pushed the collective consciousness, waiting for that final spark to ignite and make the quantum leap.

That is truly what it has taken to bring us to this moment: lifetimes of knowledge evolving over generations upon generations. In this modern age, Higher Balance Institute is a spark, igniting a revolution in spiritual consciousness.

Our purpose and mission is simple: to give you ALL the tools and knowledge you need to empower yourself, to transform your life into something amazing and to awaken the wonder that lives within you. We hope that what began as just a whisper on the wind (Eric’s approach) grows and becomes an energizing, life-giving storm of change sweeping across the globe.

We are a progressive, evolving company with the heart of a movement. We continuously acknowledge our humble beginnings. We would not be here today without the energy and resources provided to us through people who purchase and participate in our programs. Yet, our mission never leaves our minds:

…To awaken the world, one mind, one heart, one person at a time.

The more people we reach, the greater number who discover the incredible benefits of this meditation style, the more we are able to give to those still seeking.

Since the day Higher Balance opened our doors to the public, over 6 years ago, it has offered free audio and written material online. However, we’ve always known the best impact is through in-person workshops, which we always required an enrollment fee to attend. We are now very excited it is at a point where we can come to various cities and teach the method, FREE of cost. And this all-day hour workshop in Austin will be the first of its kind!

We are completely dedicated to this giving and have found no other resources out there offering anything as precise. We believe that once you experience what it is, you will agree with the growing number of people who now enthusiastically participate on an every day basis.

Higher Balance was formed for this reason, to give back the magic in life, to brighten the beauty and hope most believe unreachable. This is what March 27th at Casa de Luz is all about! We have found that lasting results come from *showing* people how they can reach it and how to get there themselves, rather than simply describing it with words.

We will focus on the key developmental areas and techniques that have revolutionized the spiritual approach of thousands of people in almost every country around the world, no matter what spiritual background or faith. Higher Balance is not simply another belief system, it is a way of stimulating and utilizing your awareness, expanding your intelligence of the world around you, and deepening your connection with nature as a whole, at a much broader level.

So if you have questions of a metaphysical nature… we have new and fresh answers. What you do with those answers… is up to you. But now you understand when we say to you…

Welcome to the fast track. There is much to learn!

We hope you take this opportunity to join us and invest in yourself, your mind, your heart, and learn how to stabilize your spirituality and life.

Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thank you again for your interest in the first ever Higher Balance FREE All-Day workshop in Austin, Texas.

We look forward to having you join us!

Yours In gratitude.

MT. HOOD OREGON: July 24th to 27th

(Registration is only $25)

We’ve all felt it at one time or another and every time we are together we feel it a thousand times stronger. This is the fact that we all are family in the most real sense of the word.

Summer is near. The time for barbecues, camping outside under the brilliant stars, and meditating in the quiet moonlight. This summer is bringing something special, the very first Higher Balance Summer Gathering!

This is an event that was created with the intention for us all to have the opportunity to come together and be amongst our fellow Navigators in a very casual, laid back setting.

Nestled at the base of Mt. Hood there is a place that is perfect for campers of all types. For the rugged, we have tent sites available. For the more comfort minded and mobile, there are RV sites. And, for the ultra deluxe “I don’t go camping unless there is a full kitchen, bathroom and bed at my disposal” camper, there are luxury cabins that were made just for you! So, whatever your outdoor experience, there are accommodations that will fit your needs.

We will be holding activities that include but are not limited to: Group Meditations, Marshmallow Eating Contests (chubby bunny anybody?), Hot Dog cook-offs, Star Gazing, old-school dimensional activities like Rock Clacking, Dimension Walking, Nature Hikes, Movie Time, Story Time, Sharing good Conversation with Fellow Navigators, and possibly… just possibly we might be able to squeeze a Q&A session out of Eric Pepin (This can’t be guaranteed but we do have the lecture hall on reserve just in case). But, even if we don’t get a full blown lecture, there is an Olympic sized swimming pool which Eric Pepin has eluded to providing us with a demonstration of his World Famous Phoenix Splash!!! Hold onto your suits (literally) because it is INTENSE!!!

It’s a time of fun and reflection. A time to meet other people on the same journey and learn from one another.

If you have a special talent, please consider bringing whatever props you need to the gathering and perform. Remember, you are with fellow seekers. We all know the ups and downs of this human experience so even if it’s a stupid human trick, like licking the tip of your nose, we want to see it! Also, for the late nights around the campfire it’s always nice to have a little atmosphere music… (hint hint musicians).

So, pack your bags, grab your compass and floppy hat and get ready to join us July 24th-27th at Mt Hood Village for this one of a kind event!

There are a couple of things to consider while getting ready for the event. If you have friends coming in from other parts of the world you may want to coordinate with them so you can share a ride to the campground, food for the weekend, and your accommodations once you get there. Whether it be a tent site, RV, or cabin you can have a maximum of six people per site.

Please call Higher Balance and register with us before you reserve your accommodations at the village. There is only a $25 registration fee for this epic three day event! Call in to 1-800-935-4007 or 503-646-4000.

Now, in order to reserve your accommodations you need to speak directly with Mt Hood Village by calling either 503-622-4011 or 800-255-3069 and tell them that you are with the Higher Balance Group. Most importantly give them the code 6415. By giving them this code they will ensure that you will be placed near other Higher Balance Participants. Their website and a list of the ground’s amenities can be found at www.mthoodvillage.com

Higher Balance Institute - Awakening the World One Mind at a Time

Higher Balance Women’s Retreat 2008
Cumberland, Rhode Island
June 20 – June 22, 2008

“This June will be a pivotal moment in awakening consciousness for woman. Although, I want to be clear on the topics that will be covered. There is no doubt it will be cutting edge and offer huge breakthroughs for women and their overall development. I expect it will accelerate a female’s development by at least ten years. I mean this quite literally.

Keep in mind that I have never truly addressed female matters exclusively; believe me I will have a lot to say. An exhaustive and intensive workshop is an understatement! What should be on every woman’s mind is liberation, real personal growth and freedom. I have no doubt this will be a very life changing event for many and truly empowering.” – Eric Pepin

Fellow Navigators,

Thank you for your interest in the women’s retreat, which will be held June 20 – June 22, 2008. The event will begin on Friday afternoon at 1:00 pm and will end Sunday in the early afternoon. The Providence Zen Center is located in Cumberland, Rhode Island.

I am curious to see what will take place. Such an event or opportunity has never occurred before. To conceive powerful, spiritual women leading the way into the future is extraordinary!

While this event is exclusively geared towards women, it is not exclusively for women. Men may sign up to attend after March 31st. Priority is given to women. For men it is about understanding your feminine side better or learning how to empower females in your lives. Wives, daughters, sisters. It is also about being a better teacher. You must understand though that topics covered will be for women, about women.

It will be a wide array of topics with no limitations. This means spiritually, psychically, emotionally, relationships, new techniques designed exclusively for women, business, children, healing, conflicts.. the list goes on.

Availability is limited to 60 people. This is a restiction on the center, not what we have set. The problem is that because this was already announced on the Higher Balance Navigator site (www.hbinavigators.com) it’s already half full!

The cost is $499 per person. That is all inclusive. Lodging, meals and a whole weekend of workshops. You will be sharing a very simple and plain room with another person. Beds are on the floor and hard! Many people bring air matresses. You will need to bring your own pillows, blankets and sheets. Bathrooms are also shared.

You may view the grounds and additional detailed information by visiting their web page at: http://www.providencezen.org.

Please direct any questions to Higher Balance at 1-800-935-4007 (1-503-646-4000) Lynn the local volunteer event coordinator (lynderela@yahoo.com), rather than contacting the Zen Center directly.

The following description and feedback was provided by the Zen Center:

The Providence Zen Center is a serene and tranquil Zen Buddhist temple in northeastern Rhode Island. Green, lush and alive with the songs of birds in the warmer months, breathtakingly silent and still in the winter, the grounds include fifty beautiful acres with woods, two ponds, and an orchard. Our facility’s meeting/meditation rooms are elegantly simple and beautifully finished with
hardwood floors, both in the Zen center and in the more traditional Diamond Hill Zen Monastery.
Located close to four major highways, Providence Zen Center is twenty minutes north of Providence and an hour from Boston.

Here are some comments from previous customers:

“Everyone just raves about the quality of service and the environment at the Zen Center.”
“The setting, environment, and food are so supportive of the experience for the participants.”
“Many thanks to everyone for facilitating us in having a successful retreat.”
“It was wonderful. Everyone was very helpful and respectful of our needs.”
“We can’t think of anything that could have been done to improve. Thanks.”

Lynn can support you with any of your logistical needs. Please review the information included here and continue to contact us with additional questions or concerns.
